Aptera is aiming to get a little more time in the sun. The once-dead and now-resurrected startup unveiled a new “production-intent” solar-powered electric vehicle that it made with a little help from legendary Italian automotive designers Pininfarina.

Californian start-up Aptera has debuted what it claims to be the first production-ready solar electric vehicle that doesn't need to be plugged in for day-to-day driving, developed with help from Pininfarina.

After what has been a very long gestational period, Aptera's promise of a production version Aptera Solar EV could be coming to fruition by year's end.

Aptera Motors arrives at this year’s Consumer Electroncis Show in Las Vegas with a production-ready version of its solar electric vehicle (sEV)
